Polls may not lie, but the people answering the polls may. And there is no way to determine how many polled, have lied. I keep getting surveys from the Dem Party, and when I do not put them in my Spam folder or delete them, I give answers designed to throw them off. I wonder how many other people do that same thing. When I get surveys from the Republican Party, I answer, but again, not always t***hfully-and then after I send, I put it in my spam folder. And still they continue, both parties, to send them. Not sure what I have to do or how many times I have to "unsubscribe" before they realize I don't want their emails. The Dems are STILL sending stuff about the Trump impeachment/criminal charges - the "hive mind" of which you speak is not limited to the Conservative politics at ANY level, blue collar or not. They are both extremely annoying!
